Which is equal to 4^2 • 4^8?
\[a. 4^16 \]
When multiplying exponents with the same base, keep the base and add the exponents. What do you get? @Jennaluv
The 16 is part of the exponent.
\(4^2 \cdot 4^8 = 4^{2+8} = ~?\)
\[b.4^10\]The 0 is part of the exponent.
What iGreen says :) it's another property of of exponents |dw:1412343126001:dw|
\(4^2 \cdot 4^8 = 4^{2+8} = ~4^{10}\)
c.\[c. 4^6\]
d.\[4^-6 \] The 6 is part of the exponent. The exponent is -6... x3
I am so sorry @iGreen , I didn't see your replies... So to multiply these all I have to do is add the exponents, and keep my number, and I have my answer?
Yep! As long as they have the same base (b), then you can add them when multiplying the terms
Yup, that's it.
Well, both of you now have 2 medals! yay.... cx
Thanx guys!
Could you help me with another?
Sure.
Il post another thing so you can get another medal.
